| Summary |
"The Ecology of Freedom" is indispensable reading for anyone who's tired of living in a world where everything, and everyone, is an exploitable resource. Murray Bookchin uses an inspired synthesis of ecology, anthropology, philosophy and political theory to trace our society's conflicting legacies of freedom and domination, from the first emergence of human culture to today's global capitalism. This title expounds on the proposition that "the very notion of the domination of nature by man stems from the very real domination of human by human" and suggests that our nightmare will continue until hierarchy is dissolved and human beings develop more sane, sustainable and egalitarian social structures. |
